[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vernox701:
Stuck in a similiar situation. I tried the above instruction and the device booted. I still do not have a working recovery .Tried to root several times but my device will only boot cleanly once and I have to pull the battery and wait atleast ten minutes but nothing works where can I find instructions on wiping thru adb
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcnano:
I think that the nand is ****ed up or i dont know D: mine didnt boot
[Vibrant General] sgtmedeiros:
I can see where it would be aimed to fit in your hand..but its such a pointless little nub.

On Android phones they tend to have these odd nubs I.e. Droid x, vibrant, Droid incredible.

Three seperate manufactures with three odd nubs.

Any thoughts?
[Vibrant General] Jinxi:
Um, define "nub"?

I'm looking at the vibrant in my hand and I'm not quite following o.o

EDT's ZSJPJ Tweaked + Overstock 1.4.2
[Vibrant General] ScooterG:
Maybe they contain things that make your phone work.
[Vibrant General] down8:
Presumably, OP is talking about the 'chin' of the G1, and the humps on the back of the DroidX & GalaxyS line....

-bZj
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
G1 had it first. It was just going for a unique design. The Hero kicked it up a notch and a lot of manufacturers have produced their own take on the "chin".

Just gives the phones a unique shape and personality, instead of just a flat black slab.
[Vibrant General] crazyald:
i think he's talking about the bumps on the back of the phone.

the only purpose they seem to serve is to show the orientation of the phone, if it's upside down or upright. i find this useful when i'm taking the phone out of my pocket.
[Vibrant General] jdm4u:
i think it helps with gripping the phone so it doesn't slide off your hands like a slab would.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
The only thing I do not understand is they do not make the phone have a "feel for right-side-up", making them so symmetrical causes that. The Nub or hump does not really provide the right tactile signal it is upside-down..........
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
When I first read the title I thought he was saying noobs on android community.
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
That "nub" on the back of the vibrant is the antenna housing.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Isnt that usually placed at the top of the device for better signal reception ? I really doubt its where the nub is.
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:

[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
My bad. But how ****ed up Samsung must be really..
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I always thought it was near the top as well :o

Atleast we don't have the antennagate like iPhone..

Well we do but its not THAT bad.

Cover the nub for a bit and signal goes down lol
[Vibrant General] CrazyCharlie:
I just tore down my Vibrant to do the gps fix. The antenna wire starts at the top and runs down the side and into the area underneath hump or nub you guys are talking about but the biggest thing down on that end of the phone is the vibration motor. You can see all this without taking your phone apart by watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOvt6atrin8
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Good find.
[Vibrant General] muathib:
I can agree with that. I'm always rotating the phone in my pocket to make sure the "nub" is on top so when I pull it out it's right side up. I'm OCD like that.
[Vibrant General] ngiordano:
Another feature is that it keeps the back from wearing out too much. Phones with flat backs tend to wear a lot. Logos and designs wear to crap.
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
Dont know if anyone is looking for a Screen Protectors but Boxwave.com has their ClearTouch Crystal Screen protectors and those things are clear :eek: supposed to be 99% Clear. They're like 12$ maybe cheaper with Coupon code. :) hard to tell you have one on if applied right. Check em out :cool:
[Thunderbolt General] tommyxv:
I got the ones from Verizon and don't like them. I may try these. Thx
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
I've always used Clarivue screen protectors but they don't have any for the Thunderbolt yet so I tried Steinheil and they are basically the same. They use static cling to adhere to the screen, so no liquids and any bubbles are easy to squeegee right out. I got the Ultra Clear and they are excellent. I agree the ones I bought from Verizon suck.
[Thunderbolt General] catalyst11:
I bought the matte one from handhelditems 3-pack for $5.xx. Fits great and no bubbles at all. I prefer the matte finish/feel although it darkens the screen a little. It doesn't show fingerprints.
[Thunderbolt General] MattCropley:
nothing compares to what a zagg does for your phone.
[Thunderbolt General] rednoved:
Makes it feel like an orange? :D
[Thunderbolt General] burntorangefan:
Thanks for the head's up. I don't like the Verizon ones either...
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
You beat me to it! Excellent zinger. LOL.

I used Invisible shield on an iPhone, and got used to it, but not sure I'll go back to that brand if I ever go back to using protectors.

I haven't used screen protectors for the last couple of years. No scratches on any of my devices over the years except for my original iPhone EDGE which got a nice ugly scratch right in the middle of the screen despite kid glove treatement. That made me put screens on my newer iPhones up to and including the 3G, but the 3G, iPhone 4 and all of my Android phones (5 of them) have gone naked without any screen scratches, and I'm not particularly kind to them. I often put two phones in the same pocket along with some headphones unplugged; all I do to protect the screens is put the phones where the screens don't touch each other.

All that said, there's something about the "feel" of the Thunderbolt's screen that makes me feel like it needs some protection. It's got a plastic-ish kind of feel compared to my Nexus and Samsung phones. Not sure what brand to try. Steinhell seems to be the most praised around here.

By the way, this should probably have been posted in the Accessories section.
[Thunderbolt General] JDawg68:
I just bought the Zagg. The self-healing and key scratch test appealed to my desire to protect one of the most expensive phones I have ever owned. Did I fall for gimmick?
[Thunderbolt General] vitsdroid:
yeah caus it turns yellow!

I usto use em but got tired of paying the shipping for replacements. I use other brands that dont turn yellow. they are also overpriced.
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
<- Hates ZaG :cool:
[Thunderbolt General] bmerrill63:
Still rocking the VZW ones, never tried anything else
[Thunderbolt General] dino325:
Im running naked on the TB.. Ive had experience with Steinheil Ultra Crystal on my Dinc. It held up well but as far as healing from any slight nicks it seemed very fragile. In fact after I believe the 3rd day it had a large gash right in the middle of the protector and I baby my phones excessively. I removed it after about 2 months and used the Dinc naked for about 5 months before getting the TB and it still looks brand new.. I have to agree thought that the TB screen does have a fragile feel to it and has an almost mosaic look to it under light whereas the Dinc looks very sharp. I may decide to go with the Steinheil Ultra Fine this time around for both my TB and Xoom
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
All that said, time for me to come back and eat up a serving of my own crow to warn others that these rotten phones need a 3rd party screen protector.

I originally put a Clear Coat shield on my Thunderbolt after about 2-3 weeks of owning it. I had it "professionally" installed at one of their kiosks. Butt ugly installation! Some kind of haze under the protector that just left streaks and were noticeable enough to be annoying, but not enough to bother going back.

Eventually I convinced myself that the phone didn't need one, and the screen does look MUCH better without it.

Anyways, you know where this is going...i took the Clear Coat off the phone (even posted a youtube video of it) about a month ago and damn it, I now have a nasty 1/8" scratch (enough to catch my fingernail on) up near the notification bar. Very disappointing.

I won't claim to have treated this phone with kid gloves, but it's never been dropped, has usually been holstered (the HTC one that protects the screen), and when riding naked with another phone in my pocket I always made sure it was glass to cloth, not the other phone.

Absolutely no clue how it scratched. Gorilla glass my foot.

Time to look for a new protector that isn't ugly and doesn't affect the screen's appearance; Steinhell still sounding like the way to go. :mad:
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
I use Gadget Guards. Cheaper than Invisible Shield / Steinhell but just as good, and no orange peel feel.
[Thunderbolt General] tekhna:
Steinhall Crystals. Only way to roll.
[Thunderbolt General] tbcpn:
+1. Used them for years--don't even know they're on unless you look waaay too closely.
[Thunderbolt General] tekhna:
Yep. I was sold when I borrowed a friend, asked how he got away with not using a screen protector, and then was told there was one on. Had to look darn close.

Edit: borrowed a friend's phone

I just upgraded to 5.1.1 ...I posted an update http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008702 to my post but assumed most never saw it....

anyhow....ever since moving to the update my wifi just spins. It recognizes that there are services available but it never gives me an option to connect to them. Any ideas?
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
after a sleep? or after upgrade to 5.1.1?

I have encountered this issue before on tnt lite 4.2. I simply rebooted it and reset your wireless router. and then no issue to me.

check out this thread if it is after a sleep.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1006112&highlight=wifi+scan

I don't 100% remember but I think that there is a custom kernel to fix/improve the wifi problem? Anyone can confirm it?
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
There were some issues regarding sleep (mostly failures to wake, causing reboots, and CPU throttle getting stuck on sleep).

However, those on the 5.0 TNTl are stuck with the existing kernel. Not to bash TNT - I've used 4.X and 5.X versions and think its great - just that it's in its own little world as far as kernel and recovery options.
[G Tablet General] wickedhog:
no sleep...just straight after the update. I have searched the forum and done anything that looks like it might work. Reset the router several times, stood within 6" of the router. Re-booted probably 100 times.

I went back and cleared the darvlick cache and did a factory reset. Re-installed 5.1 thinking this might help but from my noob eyes it looks like 5.1.1 is still running (based on the background wallpaper only).

That is the frustrating thing for me...if this happened on my pc I would go get a new driver or reinstall the hardware and I would be back up and running...with Android and ROM I am completely lost.

++UPDATE++

Just checked into the hotel and the wifi works on an open connection. I really don't want to open my home network if can avoid it...typical suburban cul de sac with too many people that would to steal some wifi

who ever said that was same one...???
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] cmstlist:
I dunno, I guess I got the impression from some posts around here that it was identical to the buggy leaked version. I gather it's still buggy, but I won't be the one to find out ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 9911726614:
it has same kernel as Arabic MS...... that kernel aslo has DSI errors but little..... don no when is moto releasing stable.... Kernel...... ok finally decided to Leave Motorola never again to buy it.... Deciding to but some other May be Xperia..... Arc or Play ... whichever.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mystichobo:
You realise that SE phones are locked down just as much, maybe more than motorola ones right?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 9911726614:
But Except for MOTO and sony what else to buy with android.......? Sony has promised to release Ginger For X10...... so might be Buying X10 now and may be Arc or Play when they r launched in INDIA. i guess. in end of April..... nut also i m thinking to be with MILESTONE till Arc/Play Launch..... is it worth buying X10.... my Bro had it already... so what u think.. ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
Get a HTC HD2. Mother of all phones. Looks like anything can run on it. They recently got debian to run on it. And it should cost about 20,000 here.

I am seriously thinking about getting one.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] consolation:
Don't get X10, pos screen doesn't even have multi touch and only does 65k colours. Locked down worse than milestone. Find a nice HTC or nexus. At least mm has a froyo kernel, x10 is stuck with eclair as it's not getting updated past 2.1. Plus the gpu is crap on snapdragon.

I think this TELUS kernel is the same that the old APAC Kernel 2.6.32.9-gafbfc43 (SHOLS_U2_05.26.0)

The new APAC or African kernel is 2.6.32.9-g11068ed (SHOLS_U2_05.27.2)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mohitrocks:
I wouldn't. Its not the greatest phone out there right now... I would wait for a dual core android phone from HTC or the iphone 5 (if there even is one, last one was summer release so it might be then as well this year)

I also wouldn't get the HD2 because its not the top-of-the-line phone and dualcore processor phones should be much better, and if they are nvidia dual core tegra 2 processors, they have tegra zone too, so more gaming possibilities and enhancements there.

Although many people do not like the Atrix, it does have 1 gb of ddr2 ram (not certain, but read somewhere) and a dualcore nvidia tegra 2 processor (i think both the cores equal to 1ghz)

+ I think nvidia said they expected quad core processors for mobile devices by this summer ( I THINK! not sure, saw somewehre on engadget I THINK!)

Lastly, the EVO 3D looks cool too, and I would wait for that if I had the money, and not stuck on a contract. Evo3d video: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/htc-evo-3d-first-hands-on/
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dharbot:
YAY official update!

So...After all my moaning and crying about the locked bootloader I go and get an ATRIX.......:eek:

Say what you will about Motorola, they make some awesome hardware. The Atrix a such a amazing phone. After freezing down all the Blur app it is the best phone i've ever used.

On another note: HTC is starting to lock down their phones (htc thunderbolt), I hope this isn't going to be true with all manufactures.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] consolation:
Yep, sometime around q3; which if years of experience with se are anything to go by, means by the end of the year. By then, the x10 will be nearing the end of its useful life - given its limited memory etc. There are much better options out there.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 9911726614:
i don't like HTC actually. so Might hope Sony to Bring Arc or Play as soon as possible. but if the launch both same time then i'll be going with play ue to its Front camera and much powerful GPU.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
You're not gonna like this. I've heard of this happening only 2 other times. Both times I dont think they found a fix.

try to fastboot wipe everything and see if that will let you install the PDimg. Also,try and download it from a different source.

If you have the ENG bootloader, you can try to fastboot flash parts of old nandroids as well.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
You cant do it in recovery. You can do it while its booting, if it gets past the splash screen. You could try and do it from the splash screen as well.

Being that you cant get anything to work, i wont tll you not to try this. Just know that this is the most dangerous thing that you could do to your phone.

The market is showing that I have bank of america mobile banking (com.infonow.bofa) installed if I go on my PC. If I hit install again and hover over my device it says "This item is not compatible with your device". The problem is it is not on my phone! Great! (It was, but I formatted and installed a new rom.)

Going on the market on the phone, that particular item is not visible.

Can someone upload the apk somewhere so I can push it to the phone or load it from an sd card? Or maybe tips on getting this fixed?

(Eris Market Fix did nothing, nothing changed at all as far as I can see with or without that. Resetting the phone did nothing, as did reflashing the rom.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:

Go into app management > market.

Launch market, accept disclaimer.

Just checking but do you have a nandroid from when you had it installed that you could back up the apk for yourself?

Also could you try re-flashing whatever ROM (I'm guessing a stock one like xtrSENSE) it would show up and install for you, reinstall it, then backup the APK?
